I'm going to try once more here to make myself clear here. I never said
that your friends have to completely agree with everything you value.
I never implied that my close friends agree with everything I say or
do. I never said that I don't tolerate a wide spectrum of lifestyles
or values in my own friends. It would be completely unreasonable for
me to expect my friends to be exactly like I am. For you to make this
assumption proves that you haven't listened to a darn thing I've been
saying this entire time--my entire point was about acceptance of who you
are as an individual versus mindless conformity to a group just to have
friends. You were the one complaining that you couldn't find any.
Sin,
Kathryn Aegis
